Good book for beginers
This is good book for MT starters. Also it price is very reasonable. In there are color pictures which is not very often. Very good topics on Thai culture and MT rituals. Techniques in there are basic: jab, cross, hooks, uppercuts, Thai round kick, front Teep, also very rare seen in MT bouts spining kick. The reason why I give 4 not all 5 stars is clinch work which is very basic thing in MT from Thailand and here needs to be covered more. Too little is written on it. I hope that in other book which I will order from same author it will be more clinch work. All in all from all MT books that I own, this is second in my ratings. Hope Cristop Delp will written more good books on national Thai sport.

Good for beginners
This is a great introduction into Muay Thai. Of course no book can replace a trainer. However this book is good to have as a took to learn more about the strikes. You also learn more about the history of Muay Thai.
